Dear Ur. Blddlei
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of July 26, 1941, asking further whether the Public Health Service is prepared to assuae responsibility for providing alien detainees at Fort Lincoln and Fort Missoula with necessary msdloal core.
As indicated to you in my letter of May 2, the Public Health Service has no funds with which to defray the cost of such service. In viow of the fact that the Immigration and Naturalisation Service has now obtained a supplemental appropritatlon for the purpose of maintaining alien seaman, may I inquire whether the Department of Justice will agree to reimburse the Public Health Service for the cost of the personnel and the expenses incident to the operation of medical services at the places in question? If such funds can be made available, the Public healtil Service will do its utmost to secure the necessary personnel and to cooperate with you in meeting the need for medical services at these places.
Sincerely yours,
/8/ Tfarren F. Draper
Acting Surgeon General.
